Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.
Lately he says he just wants to cheer people up by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.
If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet”.
While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.
Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy.
“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles,” said Reis.
4. What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1
A. He had to repay his operation fees.
B. He intended to do something different.
C. He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.
D He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.
5. What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances
A. Put some money into a tip jar near him.
B. Give him applause when he sets a bubble free.
C. Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.
D. Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.
6. What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Enables. B. Determines. C. Requires. D. Encourages.
7. What can you learn from the passage
A. Believe you can and you are halfway there.
B. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
C. Everything comes to him who waits.
D. Small actions can have a big impact.
C
Taking vitamin pills in high doses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk of cataracts(白内障), a study has shown.
Scientists found that consuming large amounts of vitamin C made individuals 20 percent more likely to develop the condition, which is a leading cause of blindness. And regularly taking high-dose vitamin E tablets increased the chance of cataracts forming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater for the elderly, with those over 65 nearly doubling their chances of damaging their vision if they took these vitamins every day.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm monitored 31,000 volunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 of them went on to need treatment for their eyes. The Swedish team discovered a strong link between those who developed cataracts and those who took high doses of vitamins C and E.
It was originally thought that the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants(脱氧化剂). It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation(氧化), which destroys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rots a car. However, it it now believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.
The human body does not make or store vitamin C, and gets its supply from fruit and vegetables. It only needs 40 mg a day to keep cells healthy and promote healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure of cells and is found in food items such as nuts and seeds. Aman needs just 4 mg a day and a woman should have 3 mg. But tablets containing up to a hundred times this amount are also available in UK health food shops. Researchers stressed that the dangers will only be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amounts. These were defined as 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of vitamin E a day.
However, Professor Yit Yang, from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in Australia, said, “It is not possible to establish from this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be other factors(因素) that were not accounted for.”
8. What do we know about the research from the text
A. The research was conducted in Australia.
B. The volunteers covered the full range of ages.
C. Almost 10 percent of the volunteers had something wrong with their eyes.
D. The research found vitamin C is more likely to cause cataracts than vitamin E.
9. What did the scientists think of the vitamins originally
A. They could lead to blindness.
B. They could cause cataracts.
C. They could increase oxidation.
D. They could prevent cataracts.
10. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Side Effects of Vitamins C and E
B. The Fight Between Vitamins and Oxidation
C. Does a High Vitamin Intake Equal Cataracts
D. Why Are High Doses of Vitamins Bad for Health
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To warn people not to take too many vitamins.
B. To tell people about a new medical discovery.
C. To reveal the risks of antioxidants and the like.
D. To explain the relationship between vitamins and blindness.
D
It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions. And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation (自动化) could provide that, ” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream, much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. There’s regulation, rethinking the highway code, public perception, improving the infrastructure (基础设施) of our streets, towns, cities, and the big question of ultimate responsibility for road accidents. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, vice president of commercial at Oxfordshire-based driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica, which has been testing its technology in cars and delivery vehicles at several locations across the UK and Europe.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
12. What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A. It drives very slowly.
B. It is automatic and drives itself.
C. It can sense its driver’s feelings.
D. There is enough light to see inside.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A. Their main dangers. B. Their special design.
C. Their wide popularity. D. Their potential advantages.
14. With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A. It isn’t ready for wide application.
B. It will make driving a safe experience.
C. It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D. It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
15. How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A. Hopeful. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Food plays an important role in our lives. We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food. In fact, it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine. Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture.
____16____ It doesn’t matter where you’re from — you have to eat. And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat. Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world ____17____ In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
____18____ Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history. For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.
Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets. ____19____ And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节). ____20____ They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer. And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight(洞悉) into a whole other aspect of a particular region’s culture.
A. Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
B. Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
C. It has something to do with local resources, needs and climates.
D. Food is the most important necessity of the people.
E. Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.
F. Black pepper originates in Asia but becomes a key part of European cuisine.
G. Moreover, they will be interested in learning the German beer making process.

Then, near the end of the game, in a(an) ____29____ to widen the gap, Milwaukee gave me a precious _____30_____. He asked me to organize an attack. Driving up the middle of the court, I _____31_____ the ball. It was a _____32_____ three-point play and minutes later the championship was ours.
Standing there in that circle of cheering audience, I came to _____33_____ the importance of teamwork.

Dave was a make-up(化妆) artist who regularly held make-up artistry classes at the local community college. He was well-known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives who wanted to improve their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that a man attended his classes as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with seemingly endless interest in make-up artistry. He was eager to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women gathered together.
Speculations(猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter Why on earth would he attend such a women’s class Who would it be
Doubts like these were crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful about the man’s intentions. Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise...
Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she plucked up the courage to ask him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed the question was a dead silence. It seemed as if a century had passed, and he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring and beautiful reply.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
He said his beloved wife had partially lost her eyesight and was no longer able to apply her make-up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.

Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.
Lately, he says he just wants to cheer people up by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.
If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet”.
While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.
Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy.
“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles,” said Reis.
4. What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1
A. He had to repay his operation fees.
B. He intended to do something different.
C. He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.
D. He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.
5. What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances
A. Put some money into a tip jar near him.
B. Give him applause when he sets a bubble free.
C. Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.
D. Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.
6. What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Enables. B. Determines. C. Requires. D. Encourages.
7. What can you learn from the passage
A. Believe you can and you are halfway there.
B. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
C. Everything comes to him who waits.
D. Small actions can have a big impact.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D

Taking vitamin pills in high doses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk of cataracts(白内障), a study has shown.
Scientists found that consuming large amounts of vitamin C made individuals 20 percent more likely to develop the condition, which is a leading cause of blindness. And regularly taking high-dose vitamin E tablets increased the chance of cataracts forming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater for the elderly, with those over 65 nearly doubling their chances of damaging their vision if they took these vitamins every day.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm monitored 31,000 volunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 of them went on to need treatment for their eyes. The Swedish team discovered a strong link between those who developed cataracts and those who took high doses of vitamins C and E.
It was originally thought that the two vitamins would protect against cataracts because they are powerful antioxidants(脱氧化剂). It was supposed that they would fight the process of oxidation(氧化), which destroys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rots a car. However, it it now believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause oxidation by upsetting the natural balance of proteins in the eye.
The human body does not make or store vitamin C, and gets its supply from fruit and vegetables. It only needs 40 mg a day to keep cells healthy and promote healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure of cells and is found in food items such as nuts and seeds. Aman needs just 4 mg a day and a woman should have 3 mg. But tablets containing up to a hundred times this amount are also available in UK health food shops. Researchers stressed that the dangers will only be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amounts. These were defined as 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of vitamin E a day.
However, Professor Yit Yang, from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in Australia, said, “It is not possible to establish from this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be other factors(因素) that were not accounted for.”
8. What do we know about the research from the text
A. The research was conducted in Australia.
B. The volunteers covered the full range of ages.
C. Almost 10 percent of the volunteers had something wrong with their eyes.
D. The research found vitamin C is more likely to cause cataracts than vitamin E.
9. What did the scientists think of the vitamins originally
A. They could lead to blindness.
B. They could cause cataracts.

It’s a late night in the Metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours,” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions. And it could make traveling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation (自动化) could provide that, ” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream, much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It’s got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that’s not the only challenge. There’s regulation, rethinking the highway code, public perception, improving the infrastructure (基础设施) of our streets, towns, cities, and the big question of ultimate responsibility for road accidents. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they’re going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that,” says Richard Jinks, vice president of commercial at Oxfordshire-based driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica, which has been testing its technology in cars and delivery vehicles at several locations across the UK and Europe.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
12. What is special about the car mentioned in paragraph 1
A. It drives very slowly.
B. It is automatic and drives itself.
C. It can sense its driver’s feelings.
D. There is enough light to see inside.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles
A. Their main dangers. B. Their special design.
C. Their wide popularity. D. Their potential advantages.
14. With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology
A. It isn’t ready for wide application.
B. It will make driving a safe experience.
C. It isn’t developing as smoothly as planned.
D. It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
15. How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles
A. Hopeful. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Food plays an important role in our lives. We can learn a lot about a particular culture by exploring food. In fact, it may be difficult to fully define a culture without a nod to their cuisine. Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture.
____16____ It doesn’t matter where you’re from — you have to eat. And your societal culture most likely evolves from the universal need to eat. Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world ____17____ In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
____18____ Some people have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant based. These cuisines took shape in the long course of history. For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.
Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets. ____19____ And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节). ____20____ They may even learn how to make their own fresh beer. And they have the chance to learn local skills that can send insight(洞悉) into a whole other aspect of a particular region’s culture.
A. Meat is more difficult to preserve than plants.
B. Local cuisines show historical eating patterns.
C. It has something to do with local resources, needs and climates.
D. Food is the most important necessity of the people.
E. Some cuisines change accordingly during different times of the year.
F. Black pepper originates in Asia but becomes a key part of European cuisine.

Food preservation (保存) techniques are unique to climates and lifestyle. Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world (不管你来自哪里，你都得吃饭。你的社会文化很可能是从普遍的饮食需求演变而来的。食物保存技术是气候和生活方式所特有的。有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”可知，后文主要说明了食物的重要性，本句为本段第一句，总起全文，故D选项“食物是人们最重要的必需品”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world (有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同？)”以及后文“In Morocco, Khlea is a dish composed of dried beef and then packed in animal fat. When preserved correctly, it’s still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes a lot of sense in Morocco, where the country historically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.(在摩洛哥，Khlea是一道菜，由干牛肉和动物脂肪组成。如果保存得当，在室温下保存两年仍然是好的。这在摩洛哥很有意义，因为这个国家历史上有沙漠景观，而且温度非常温暖干燥)”可知，本句是在回答上文关于保存肉类过程不同的问题：与当地的资源、需求和气候有关，后文则给出对应的例子。故C选项“这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关”符合语境，故选C。

For example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat dishes in the north, vegetarian diets in the south.(有些人的菜肴完全以肉类为基础，而另一些人则几乎完全以植物为基础。这些菜系是在漫长的历史过程中形成的。例如，印度的菜肴因地区而异，北方有肉和小麦菜，南方有素食)”可知，本段主要介绍了菜系与当地饮食模式之间的关系，故B选项“当地菜系展示了历史上的饮食模式”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes, a certain ingredient of one dish can reveal cultural secrets.(有时，一道菜的某种成分可以揭示文化的秘密)”以及后文“And perhaps one of the most interesting results from the mix of two cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems to be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!(也许两种菜系混合后最有趣的结果之一就是鸡肉提卡马沙拉。它似乎是印度的穆加利菜，但实际上是英国人发明的！)”可知，本句是在举例说明某种菜的成分，故F选项“黑胡椒原产于亚洲，但已成为欧洲菜肴的重要组成部分”符合语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Food tourism — it’s a whole new way to travel. Food tourists won’t just focus on having a glass of beer at Oktoberfest (德国十月啤酒节).(美食旅游——这是一种全新的旅行方式。美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒)”可知，上文提到美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝一杯啤酒，可知本句是在说明游客还会收获的东西：他们会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣，是对上文的补充说明。故G选项“此外，他们会对学习德国啤酒的酿造工艺感兴趣”符合语境，故选G。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Dave was a make-up(化妆) artist who regularly held make-up artistry classes at the local community college. He was well-known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives who wanted to improve their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that a man attended his classes as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with seemingly endless interest in make-up artistry. He was eager to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women gathered together.
Speculations(猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter Why on earth would he attend such a women’s class Who would it be
Doubts like these were crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful about the man’s intentions. Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise...
Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she plucked up the courage to ask him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed the question was a dead silence. It seemed as if a century had passed, and he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring and beautiful reply.

Paragraph 2:
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, abandoning herself to great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up. But what upset her was that she simply didn’t feel confident and comfortable to leave the room without make-up. “Sensing her loneliness in a dark world, I was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this class, I determined to learn make-up without hesitation, hoping to make a difference.”
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. He mastered a wide range of practical skills, allowing him to help her take on a new look. He continued, “I not only want to learn how to make her up, but want her to wear the most beautiful smile on her face. Actually, it is her smile that touches my heart most, not the make-up.”
